Matt,
I have a copy of the instructional/operational manual from my histobath
that we purchased in 1994 from Shandon-Lipshaw. The specifications for
its lowest temperature is -60C. The liquid that is used is
2-methylbutane (isopentane).
I can fax you a copy if it would help.

I forgot to mention, this Histobath I am talking about is the one with a
refrigerated tank. You fill the tank with a liquid (I forget what the
chemical is) and use it to quick-freeze tissue to be cut in a cryostat.
Peace
Matt
